Our Policy Work

Climbers have a vested interest in what happens in D.C., and showing up to make our voice heard is key to the future of the sport. By working together, with the industry and partner organizations, we are stronger as a community. We are influential when we work together.



— Brad Brooks, AAC Board Member, Policy Committee

We are committed to working with partner organizations to protect our public lands, support facilitated access and healthy climbing landscapes and to advocate for other human-powered, outdoor recreation communities. Learn more about our policy work below:
